They might get the indorse- ment of the "rat" fraternity of "pro- tected" printers, thirty Tn number. Of course, it wouldn't pay, but the fellows who cant advertise in the WoRkMEN's ADVOCATE might have the satisfaction of seing their cad. in ''labor paper" all their own.

Well, what has been gained by the Darlington and his COWjer.' ; His sheet cXultingIy says;
 "Boycotting, as it has been conducted in New Haven, is over"
 "As 1t has been conducted,' per haps; but if we mistake not the spirit of the working people they will not consider themselves bound to buy the NoHrIey or patronIze it's advertisers. The readers of the WoRKMEN'S ADVOCATE certainly are not How more inclined to help the C0Uicr by docking into the stores of the people who advertise in 1t than they were before.

In order to in- duce him to keep faith with the Union, it is alleged that the printers informed him that they would with draw their patronage from his paper and request their friends and the merchants to do likewise, and that they would not purchase from any one advertising in the CoWier. In order that no injustice should be done these advertisers. Q committee was instructed to inform them of the decision of the workmcn. This was boycotting, The capitalIstIc class in power termed it criminal con spiracy." Then the arrest and prosecution; the repeated appeals, and finally the "suprrmc" decision.

Local Option Election Ordered

FrederlcktOwn, Mo September 29.-1 es-
terday on a petition signed by $40 voters,
Madison county court ordered an election
under the local option law. 1t will occur
Saturday, October %. The advocates OF
no license are aggressive, and before the
courts order had been entered on record,
the ladies of this place, to the number of
thirty-fve, met and organized for the dry
campaign. They were addressed by Mrs.
Judge Carter and Mrs. J. l.. How, Of
Harrington, who were at the head of the
successful campaign made by the ladies in
st. Francois county. At j o'clock yester.
day there was also a mems meeting, at
which an executive committee was ap-
pointed for the county, and steps taken to
make an active fight against whisky. As
yet the liquor men have made no sign as
to what they will do in the contest, but
they will not be idle. So far their work
has been in the nature of still hunt.

Justly Convicted.

Detroit, Mich, September 29.-Frank
Atkinson was Detroit letter carrier, and
was arrested recently for robbing the mails
and when arrested had two decoy letters
on his person which the inspectors thought
had been opened and resealed. Atkinson
was at once taken before District Attorney
Block who decided not to open the decoy
letters until he did so before the jury. At
kinson's trial began yesterday and the let
tiers were opened and found to contain two
thin strips of cotton batting instead of
money, as expected.
This disconnected the prosecution, and
the defense made an apparently telling
point by showing that Atkinson got the de-
coy letters only a few minutes before his
arrest, and had no time and was at no
place where he could have opened them.
This did not effect the result, however
the jury last night finding him guilty on
two of the six counts in the indictment.

Strikers Give up and Desert the
knights of Labor.

Louisville, XIV. Sept. 29.-The strike in
the wooleu mills of this city, which was in
augurated two months ago, has proven a
failure. The weavers demanded an in
crease of wages and were supported in this
action BY the knights of labor. The mill
owners took firm stand, refusing to take
back any of the strikers who would not
sign an agreement to give up all allegiance
to the knights and come back at the old
wages. They were compelled to close.
Recently. however, their employees began to
seek their old places at the owners terms,
and nearly all of the weavers have agreed
to the conditions. Two mills are at work
and another expects 20 be able to begin to-
day. 1t is a very severe defeat for the
knights of labor, who lose nearly seven
hundred members. after supporting that
number for two months, each having drawn
from So to S. week from the labor treas
ury.

A New Phase of the Interstate
Law.

St Louis, Sept. 2S.-Justice Miller and
Judge Brewer, of the United States circuit
court, heard demurrer in chambers yes
terday afternoon in the case of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad against Paul
Gauelich, tax official, and others, of
Iowa. The Burlington seeks to enjoin the
leyyIng of tax on Pullman cars entering
Iowa from other states. The Pullman cans
are run over the Burlington, but the ques-
ton as to whether the arrangement between
the two companies is a lease or special con-
tract will be one of the many Important
points for the court to decide. There is a
brilliant array of legal talent interested in
the case. Ex-Secretary of War Robert T.
Lincola, VIM. Barry, of Chicago, and the
attorney general of Iowa, A. j. Baker, pre-
sented lengthy arguments yesterday after
noon. The judges decision will be await
ed with considerable interest, as the case
presents one phase of the interstate COM
merce law.

The Anarchists Case.

Washington, Sept. ga reporter of
the Associated Press called upon Mr..
Justice Field, of the United States supreme
court yesterday and asked if any applica-
ton had been made to him in behalf of
the anarchists. The justice replied that
DO application had been made. If appli-
cations were made, he said, to a Judge of
the supreme court in the city of Washing
tgn other than the one from whose circuit
the case should come, it would be referred
TO the Judge of that circuit, in this case to
Mr.. Justice Harlan, or if he were not in
the city, then to the chief Justice. Only
In the absense of these two would a justice
outside of the circuit act.
"What is the meaning" queried the re-
porter, "of the dissenting opinion of
Judge Hoffman, of California, in the rail-
road commission case"
81 am surprised" replied Justice Field.
Judge Hoffman and Judge Sabin, district
Judges, were invited to sit on the bench of
their circuit court when the case was ar
gued, though they were not legally mem
bers of the court. When the decision was
rendered, Judge Hoffman was not on the
bench, and could not, according to the
practice of federal courts, dissent after
wards. If he had desired to dissent, it was
his duty TO dissent then, and to offer dis
senting opinion. A month afterward can
prove no legal significance, and is only a
piece of legal unimportance."
Chief Justice Waite and Justice Mat
thews, when called on last night, said they
had received no application in the case.
They express the same views as Justice
Field as to the case belonging to Justice
Harlan. Both justices said the case could
only come before the supreme court on the
ground that the constitution of a federal
statute were involved. The fact that the
trial was one of extraordinary importance
could have no bearings on the question of
the courts jurisdiction over the case.

RTENNESSEE POLITICS.
Probable Effect of the Vote on
Prohibition on the Two
Political Parties.

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 29.-lSpecial. j
The prohibition amendment to the cOnsti-
sutton, which is being voted on to-day,
bids fair to gain sufficient number oil
adherents 10 change the relative strength
Of political parties in the state. While the
prohibitionist canvassers have base
their efforts mainly on appeals to party
loyalty, they have not been able to sue
cessfully oppose the
WAVE OF PCBLIC SENTIMENT,
operating In favor OF the measure. The
amendment was proposed by democratic
member of the legislature, and would never
have been submitted to-ihe people but by
the aid of democratic votes. The most
warm adherents and champion of prohi-
bition in this state are found Ia the ranks
of the rural democracy, and the results are,
therefore, watched with more than ordinary
interest. The republicans, although
DIVIDED ON THE QUESTION,
do not carry their antagonism SO far as
their political opponents, and appear
rather inclined to take advantage of the
unquestioned schism in the democratic
ranks 1t is impossible as yet to predict
what the actual result of the vote will be-
The liquor men are spending money very
freely to influence votes in the towns and
villages, and, more particularly, with the
view of controlling the colored vote.
THE COLoRED PREACHERS,
however, are enlisted on the side of tenn
perance, and their Influence in any politi-
cal contest has never been felt, or perhaps
exercised, TO such an extent as throughout
the present canvas. The foreign vote of
Tennessee is too smallsto count as a factor,
and if the prohibition amendment is car
ried, It will be attributed to the support
accorded to the mesure from within the
ranks of the democratic party.

NOT GOOD TALK.

In regard to the appeal taken in be-
half of the condemned anarchists of
Chicago, one can read constantly sucn
statements as these: Do not let Judge
Miller pass upon the motion, for he is
opposed to capital punishment. Try i
before Judge Hanlan, for he has n
scruples in regard to the infection of
the death penalty. Better let it be
decided by Judge Bradley, for in
criminal trials he is very much in ia
vor of letting what has been done by
any state court stay done.
All of which talk is unfair, unjust
and un-American. No matter what
may be the private views ofany men,
Der of the supreme court on any given
subject, who doubts for moment that
he would declare the law as he saw it,
boldly and conscientiously? To in
sinuate otherwise is to wrong the cour:
and wrong the judge whose individual
opinions are referred to as opinions
to swerve him from the
plainest demands of duty. The coun-
try cannot afford to lose faith in it's
highest legal tribunal, nor suffer to
pass unrebuked aught that goes to as
perse it, or impugn its motives or its
actions in the slightest appreciable de-
gree.-Kansas City Times.
